    Great review on EG. 10/10.

    I missed the PC release so might pick it up on Xbox now.

    PC release is free if you want to try it. Will definitely pick this up myself. I think they improved the graphics for the 360 release.

    Was thinking of getting a 4200pt card for some of the Summer of Arcade games but this looks to be edging on or two of those out.

    Spelunky is the definition of unforgiving, but it's careful always to play fair: when you die, it's because you made a careless leap, pushed your luck against an unfamiliar monster, or weren't paying attention to your environment. You die because the game is better than you, and it drives you to better yourself.

    Top game, I love it. Very moreish. Just one more game. Then just one more. OK, last one. OK this is really the last one. I swear, this is my last attempt. F**king spider bastards. OK last time. Aaaargh those f**king darts. OK last time. Almost at the exit. Fffffuuuuucccckkkkkkk. OK, I'll get it this time.....

    That was an hour ago, and I just switched it off.

    Is there an up to date version on PC or one planned?

    Infuriating game, but as someone said earlier - it's always your own fault when you die. Fantastic.

    Technically there's no real reason it couldn't be released on the PC as the remake was developed in XNA. That being said, it was published by MS so at the very least it'll be a timed exclusive.

    Picked this up, oh man is it crazy fun. Found a hidden exit to the Black Market and bought myself a servant (who runs around in his underwear.....what exactly were the terms of the contract again??) only for him to somehow steal a pair of spring shoes....therefore causing all the shopkeepers to go nuts. cue me clearing out every shop and making a beeline for the exit :p
